FIB was a term in use by the '80's in the Wisconsin area that I grew up, and I think it existed after the first summer which combined car traffic from Illinois and Wisconsin road construction.
A fellow from the Lincoln state asked me why all the trees in Illinois pointed toward Wisconsin. I took the bait, and the punch line was "Because WI sucks". My reply: "No, Illinois b***s". We had a great time giving each other hell after that. Now I'm a Yankee living in the south. Folk here are too polite to tell me to my face what they think of us Yankees, but there are a few bumper stickers I enjoy like "If they call it 'Tourist Season', how come we can't shoot them?"
